I’m personally not liking how everybody’s posting mocking content over Brie Larson. I mean, I get it. She as a person has made some rather strange and awkward comments lately involving her role as Carol Danvers, and everyone’s entitled to an opinion. But I don’t think it’s worth shoving down people’s throats how much you don’t like her with posts and memes. We get it! Just let it go.

So you're saying that "I don’t need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work about A Wrinkle in Time,” “It wasn’t made for him! I want to know what it meant to women of colour, biracial women, to teen women of colour."

So unless I'm not a 'women of colour, biracial women, to teen women of colour" I can't say anything about Larson? What if I'm an Asian dude?

That's not what I said at all. I said that everybody's entitled to an opinion, but can you guys stop flooding this MCU thread with nothing but memes or mocking comments about Brie Larson? We get it already!

I think Larson was decent casting because Nu-Marvel is usually an asshole. Deprived an innocent woman of her constitutional rights, and Interrogated her for hours on end to the point of insanity. Tony tells her to watch "Minority Report", she loses her shit and nearly kills him. Tries to arrest Miles Morales because he doesn't like Captain America, and because he's black. Allowed Hawkeye to take the fall for killing Banner before he could Hulk out after Carol needlessly stressed him out. Sexually harrasses Jessica Drew, Rhodey and Kamala, sided with the Inhumans over the X-Men, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Tl;dr - Brie Larson was almost perfectly casted (no ass) because the source material is a bastard.

And the guys in charge of the MCU want someone like that as the new face of the MCU.

Not sure if that's where they're going with Carol Danvers. I mean, I wouldn't say there was one "face" of the MCU to begin with. (The big three are Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, and Thor). I think once Endgame ends, the MCU may set up a new line-up of "faces" for the MCU. My guess is Carol Danvers, Steven Strange, and Black Panther.

I think if they want a new face for the MCU they will either have to:

Fast Track bringing the X-Men into the MCU

Make a more established MCU character lead the Avengers (Black Widow or War Machine come to mind)

Bring in a more popular comic book character stat (Hercules, Monica Rambeau, Brian Braddock)

Johansson and Don Cheadle are leaving with other members of the old guard I think. So we're stuck with Mary Sue C. Marvel leading the Avengers since Larson signed 7 film contract. She, Black Panther, Spidey, Ant Man, Buckey becomes a new Cap(?) are the new guard.

My understanding is a Black Widow movie is being made (though I suppose if it's a prequel it might not have Johansson starring) For Cheadle I'd do the same thing they did with RDJ to keep him around; park a big old dump truck full of cash on his front lawn.

Buckey and Falcon are getting a show on Disney+

Oh, Scarlett is definitely starring in her own movie and she proved that she can carry an action flick with "Lucy" and "Ghost in the shell".www.imdb.com/title/tt3480822

Here the issue are fatigue and very intensive nature of shooting Marvel movies - many actors complain they lose years of their life doing them. For example, Downey Jr. shoots only two or three movies a year because of MCU and his fans regret it. Even while he gets 200 million bucks for two MCU movies.

The parts about sexual harrassment, and arresting Miles were jokes (a future vision showed Miles killing Captain America)

She was very much serious about arresting Miles for the murder of Captain America though.

Even though at that point in the CW2 storyline, they'd determined that the visions of the "future" were not always accurate and could be altered. Despite this, Carol still wanted to arrest Miles for a crime he hadn't done, didn't have any intention of doing and that even the "victim" had absolved Miles of, if he did end up doing it.

What makes it worse is that when Tony did everything he could to stop her from taking Miles, she got so angry she beat him nearly to death... meaning that for Captain Marvel almost committed murder in her attempt to stop a murder.

I meant the part where she's only arresting Miles for not liking Steve.

What bothered me about CW2's storyline was that in a past storyline Tony created AI that predicted the future but was later forgotten by everyone. Flash forward almost two decades later and the storyline is rehashed for cheap drama, but with an Inhuman who has a less reliable predictive power than the AI, and where almost all involved parties minus Captain America are popping stupid pills like Smarties candy.

This is a prime example of when trying to be inclusive or politically correct can backfire severely. Having a villain base wether an opponent is worthy of combat based on gender is a very shallow thing that this moment tried to play as a special quality of Jane Foster’s Thor.

Carol above everyone else looked the worst though. Good job Bendis.

Yeah, it's weird because even though they make a point of having Tony and Jean try to figure out how his power works, the story seems to forget about all the other people in the Marvel universe that have precognitive powers they could use to verify the accuracy of his visions.

It's one of those events when i wished a character like Xavier was still alive so that we could get his input about Ulysses, but then i remember the quality of the writing.

Here is a heads up. We have tickets for the Avengers movie on Friday. The theatre we are going to is only showing the Avengers. They are not showing any other movies. They have six screens. And they were sold out for the entire day as of Sunday. If you want to see the movie on opening weekend then you may want to act quickly.

If you are planning on waiting, which is the smart option, then you probably have nothing to worry about. Unless Thanos gets all the stones for real.

And thanks to Putin's minister of culture Medinskiy I have to wait until 29th of April(He moved the Avengers release date second time from 25th of April to 29th, all to help another shitty Russian movie to get few more bucks). I hate the piece of shit with all my heart.

So you're saying that "I don’t need a 40-year-old white dude to tell me what didn’t work about A Wrinkle in Time,” “It wasn’t made for him! I want to know what it meant to women of colour, biracial women, to teen women of colour."

What's truly sad & disturbing is that there's a legion of talent-less, entitled & lazy 3rd-wave idiots out there who defend people like Larson because they feel like she represents them
